Accommodation & Facilities
The Old Walnut Farm was originally two farms, merged many years ago and recently renovated to provide immaculate family acommodation, in three gites, for up to five people each.
Our swimming pool - 12m x 6m, has an ample shallow end for children, and conforms to current child-safety standards. It is surrounded by a large sun terrace, complete with parasols and loungers.
The farm is set in it's own grounds of approximately 3 acres, giving way to open countryside beyond. Well off the main roads, access is by a private lane.
